Palamu Forts
Latehar, Jharkhand
Twin 16th-century forts of the Chero kings — one on the plains, one on a hill — swallowed by the forests near Betla National Park.

Kamaldah Lake
Palamu, Jharkhand
A lotus-covered lake inside the Palamu Tiger Reserve buffer, ringed by sal forest and busy with waterbirds in winter.

Betla National Park
Jharkhand
Palamau's sal forests hide elephants, leopards, gaur and sloth bears, watched from machans and jeep tracks — plus the brooding 16th-century Palamau forts of the Chero kings rising from the jungle. One of India's first Project Tiger reserves.

Mirchaiya Falls
Latehar, Jharkhand
A picturesque roadside waterfall on the Betla–Netarhat route where a forest stream fans over rock terraces.
